hello!
You are dreaming about the work-life balance: a business to pursue your creative drive with plenty of time to spend with family & friends.
Finding that you thrive with client interaction, but being stuck behind a computer to wee hours editing is not really your cup of tea (or coffee),
Desiring to improve turnaround to impress clients.
Outsourcing your editing to the rescue!!
Let's Hangout!
happy photographer
happy life!
why hire a private editor?
PEACE OF MIND
Running a photography business has many responsibilities... the list is endless.
Want part of that stress eased?
Outsourcing your editing will accomplish that by taking editing off your plate. Resulting in more time to focus on other parts of your business, doing what you love and being present more in your personal life.
CONSISTENCY
This is one of the benefits in having a private editor that learns and mimics your editing style throughout all of your images.
With an eye to detail, I go over each & every image making sure it matches your vision and style.
No wondering if you will be satisfied with the results. I guarantee you will be pleased with my work.
BUSINESS GROWTH
A big part of your time is spent editing. Being in front of the computer editing takes away opportunities to make money and grow your business.
A private editor will give you more time to focus on the more profitable aspects of your business rather than spending hours upon hours editing.
Benefits such as booking more weddings / sessions, enhancing your client experience and so much more.
how it works
Complimentary Consultation
When you contact me, I'll send you a questionnaire to fill out to better understand your needs. And we’ll schedule a free consultation. During our chat, we'll be discussing the details, your editing style, the "no worries" process and answer any questions you may have.
If I’m a good fit for you as an editor, I’ll send you an agreement and all the info you will need to work with me.
Editing Process
If editing in Lightroom, we’ll be working with Smart Previews. It’s a sweet part of Lightroom Classic that allows me to work on the images without needing the originals.
When editing with Photoshop, you will be sending raw files for me to edit.
The catalogs/files will be sent back & forth through Dropbox or other options that are available for transferring files for Lightroom as well as for Photoshop editing.
Best part... the edits will MATCH yours as if you’ve done them all yourself!
Delivery
Turnaround is customizable to fit your needs, depending on the shooting season. I will deliver the final Lightroom catalog or full size high resolution jpgs for Photoshop editing...
Easy peasy!
about me
Family and faith are of utmost importance for me! Married to the love of my life with 4 grown daughters and 10 adorable grandkids!
I have been a photographer for about 10 years and throughly enjoy the editing part as much as working with my clients. So, I can relate to you thinking YOUR EDITING is YOUR BABY! This is a REALLY BIG DEAL trusting someone with your edits and wanting to be sure it’s the right thing to do. Your feedback is always welcomed and desired for matching your editing style.
Working together, you can rely on a personalized workflow, simple processes, timely edits, and a fantastic one-on-one relationship that will help you in your business.
My aim is giving you back those vital hours that can be used to grow your business and be with your family & friends.
Love to show you how!

faq's
What would it cost to have more time?
I have a basic editing per image rate. This includes color correction, applying your presets/actions (if you use any), image straightening and cropping, adjusting the basic sliders in Lightroom / Photoshop. Please contact me for further info. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Do you only edit Weddings or Portraits, too?
My editing services are for BOTH Wedding Photographers, Portrait Photographers and Creatives. :)
Do you only edit in Lightroom?
I offer editing in Lightroom Classic, in Photoshop and advance editing such as composites, object removal and head swaps for an additional per image rate. For more info on advance editing check out my Advance Edits page.
Do you offer culling?
Yes, I do culling for a small additional per image rate for the total number of images given to cull through.
Will I be locked into a contract?
You will only need to sign an agreement that outlines the terms and expectations. It does NOT lock you into any set time period with me.
How do I send my images to you?
I will either provide a shared folder on Dropbox or we can use other available transfer options to send the files back and forth. If you edit in Lightroom, we will be using Lightroom Catalogs with Smart Previews for fast file transfers or raw files with Photoshop editing. During our consult call we will be discussing all the details. The process is simple with just a few steps. I will be helping you through every step.
